Stromlo XC Intervals 800m Set 2 x 600m, 400m jog

At Stromlo XC circuit this morning for a short 800m race pace set. Weather sunny, warm and some wind.

The set: 1500m warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 2 x 600m efforts with 400m jog recovery, 1500m warm down.

Splits: 1:49, 1:41. Final effort of 1:41 is my 2nd fastest effort all time. I did run 1:40 a few weeks ago and have only run 1:41 a couple of times. I'm in good shape for 800m.

At lunch a 10km recovery run. This afternoon a pacing set at Stromlo with Jen who manganed to run 20 seconds per kilometre quicker than previous week in 4 x 600m efforts.

Next couple of days just short runs with strides. Oceania Masters Athletics Championships 5000m on Saturday, 800m Sunday, 8000m XC on Monday. Weather will be variable with some rain.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
